On Monday, The Tab Durham revealed that 76 cases of coronavirus had been reported by students, with 69 of those cases being reported in the week prior.
Since the beginning of Michaelmas term, there have been 251 student cases and five staff cases of coronavirus. Durham has stated all members of the University who have reported testing positive are now isolating in accordance with NHS guidelines.
The University has revealed it will now be giving weekly updates on the number of cases reported by staff and students, which will include both the number of new cases and the running total.
These figures will be taken from all members of the University – not just those currently living in Durham City. Durham University has confirmed that of its 20,500 students, around 2,000 are currently studying entirely online.
These figures are correct as of Wednesday 7th October.
